5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, page turning read!, June 5, 2009
Jessica Stone is my kinda gal. She has a razor sharp wit and oozes with confidence, consistantly snapping back with a verbal reparte` that had me laughing out loud - a difficult feat to accomplish for a long time book reader and sci-fi fan such as myself. I can only hope and pray the authors write a sequel, because I know I want to see more of Jessica!

I had a hard time putting this book down, and it's now making its way through the ladies of my family. There's a lesson being taught here - Let go, and let God.

I loved McKay and Gutteridge's "The Ultimate Gift", which is a classic in my library now, beside which "Never the Bride" will be placed. I look forward to their next brilliantly inspired work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, August 4, 2009
This was an easy, quick read and the main character, Jessie, kept you laughing and turning the pages! Some of the reviews criticize the book for not portraying God or Christianity in the right way, and to that I say, this is a novel, not a book on theology. The main point is that we need to give God control of our lives and surrender to the fact that he does things in his timing. This lesson is presented in a fun, comical way that any girl, married, engaged or single, can relate to! The book will get you thinking about what part of your life you need to surrender completely to God. A wonderful job done by both Cheryl and Rene!

5.0 out of 5 stars positively Non-religous & refreshing, July 27, 2009
By Lisa Sniadecki (Fort Mill, SC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great Summer read. While lying on the beach with my 21 year old daughter, giggles and could be heard over the loud waves crashing in. I totally can see this as a movie, The timing of the books release is great considering the movie The Proposal came out this summer too.
Comparing the story line to Evan Almighty and Bruce Almighty, A female main character would be welcomed.
It is refreshing to read something like this that makes God a touchable, loving Character vs a harsh unrelatable person who is too busy to get involved with any aspect of our human lives.
Way to go ladies!
